Fathom

Your toolkit for dystopian storytelling

Step out of the shadows with Fathom, a visceral Kontakt instrument crafted for producers, composers, and sound designers who want to push beyond the edge. Built from over 1.6GB of raw, sculpted audio and packed with 220 presets, Fathom delivers a world of gritty textures, corrupted atmospheres, brooding pulses, and fractured tonal elements.

Designed by electronic innovator/genius Si Begg and brought to life through the sleek programming and interface work of Stefano Maccarelli (Ethera & Elements series), Fathom merges experimental sound  design with intuitive control. From haunting cinematic beds to mechanical drones and tension-filled sequences, every preset is engineered to evoke a sense of unease, scale, and futuristic decay.

The Fathom Texture Designer is dedicated to creating evolving, organic textures with a strong cinematic impact within Fathom. It features over 270 sampled sounds arranged across three flexible layers, offering limitless sonic combinations. The instrument comes with pre-organized presets, enabling you to dive deep into expressive sound design right from the start. Each layer has its own dedicated sound-control section. Using the Learn Range function, you can assign a playable key range for each layer, allowing you to create either split-zone or overlapping configurations.

Dive deep, shape the darkness, and explore the sonic depths of a world on the brink.
